Document Classes ⇒ res | Eliminate white Space

[msl]

I'm writing my resume in res class and there is an unpleasant amount of white space between the section titles and the the content of each section. In particular, I would like my CV to look something more like this:

The source file for my CV is attached below.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

are you sure that you would like to use the res class? Have a look at what I wrote in: res | Add Class to TeX System - this class is really old.

Is there a more modern class you would recommend that would let me achieve a CV that looks similar to the one I linked to?

That CV can easily be created using a table and font commands. But do you really want to let your CV look this way? In my opinion that CV is a terrible font style mix.

Here's an example line:

Four font styles in a row. I don't think that's nice. For my CVs, I used the scrartcl class (article class would do as well) and tabular environments. Actually, I made a macro for each section (with tabular inside), and adjusted that macro until it was optimal.

Have a look at Joseph's blog posts: Writing a curriculum vitae in LaTeX.
